enacted.
MIR. Heath moved to strike on, sections 2.
8 ard 4. He would leave section 1 be-
cause it made certain the time which
contracts with teachers. was to continue,
question Upon which there had been some
difference of opinion.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Lumbers, Mr..
Heath Withdrew his amendment
Mr.. Lumbert then moved TO indednitelx
postpone.
Mr.. Lihbey of Penobscot thought there
was merit in the bill which, BY a little
correction, might be saved with advantage to
both teachers and schools, and he hoped tho
motion 10 indefinitely postpone would not be
pressed.
NJ. Lumbert thought the matter would be
facilitated by passing his motion and the
preparation of a new bill by the committee.
Mr Lord of Penobscot said the bill was
unsatisfactory to him in every respect. 1t
was evidently intended to stiect the country
schools, tor there were no troubles to be
reached in the cities He moved to table but
subsequently withdrew his motion upon
suggestion of Mr.. Heath
On motion OF Mr. Heath the bill was re-
committed to the Committee on Education.
On motion of Mr., Gushee ofkuox. resolve
for rebuilding bridge at Fort Kent, Aroos-
took county, was taken from the table.
MIR. Gushee opposed the passage of the
measure, quoting from statistics to show that
the rate of taxation in Aroostook was
less than in almost anv other COUNTY and
that Fort Kent is not so badly of ss Set forth
in the statement of facts. He did not desire
to do any thing that would work an Injustice
to any town; but in view of the fact that
Fort kents burdens were no heavier than
other sections of the State, he moved to re-
duce the Appropriation of $1,000 to 5000.
Mr.. Lumhert thought the Aroostook dele
gation would not be accused of asking for
many appropriations. 1t was true that in
the past Aroostook had been helped In her
time OF great need, and he did not denv that
she was now fairly well of. None of the
institutions tor which large sums were
appropriated were located within her borders,
nor did she want them. But he thought Fort
Kent deserved favorable consideration in
this matter. The river WAS an expensive one
to keep bridg and it was a great burden
upon Fl. Kent to support the bridges within
her borders. The character of the Board Of
County Commissioners under whom tho
money would be expended was q sufficient
guaranty that the funds would be faithfully
expended
The amendment was lost, 4 voting in its
favor and IL against.
The resolve was then passed To be en-
crossed.
